30 Years since 1989: Legacies of Post-Socialism (ZOiS Conference 2019, 14 June 2019)

Legacies from the socialist era have shaped post-1989 societies in Eastern Europe. What exactly qualifies as socialist legacies and what their causal significance has been remains an issue of academic and public debate. The 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall is a good moment to move these discussions forward. How can we think more systematically about the last three decades of political, economic and social change across Central and Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union? Thirty years are a time span that can be conceptualised as a set of legacies, too. What types of trajectories have emerged, and how have the choices and experiences of the early post-1989 or post-1991 period shaped subsequent developments? The ZOiS Conference 2019 will explore these legacies of post-socialism, with a particular focus on the role of youth and generational change, liberal values and conceptions of Europe, and city architecture and everyday life in urban settings. Additionally, a panel discussion will concentrate on conceptual issues arising from the experiences of Eastern Europe over the last thirty years, including the terminology “post-socialism“, “post-communism“, and “Global East”. As in previous years, each panel and interactive discussion at the ZOiS Conference will bring together perspectives from different academic disciplines. The ZOiS Conference will culminate in a Keynote Lecture by Ivan Krastev from the Centre of Liberal Strategies, Sofia.
